Journal ArticleDOI

A forkhead-domain gene is mutated in a severe speech and language disorder

TL;DR: It is suggested that the gene FOXP2, which encodes a putative transcription factor containing a polyglutamine tract and a forkhead DNA-binding domain, is involved in the developmental process that culminates in speech and language.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Rate of Recurrent De Novo Mutations in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies

Fadi F. Hamdan, +119 more
TL;DR: De novo missense variants explained a larger proportion of individuals in the series than in other series that were primarily ascertained because of ID, indicating that the genetic landscape of DEE might be different from that of ID without epilepsy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional haploinsufficiency of the human homeobox gene MSX2 causes defects in skull ossification.

TL;DR: It is suggested that PFM and craniosynostosis result, respectively, from loss and gain of activity in an MSX2-mediated pathway of calvarial osteogenic differentiation.
